They flew behind our old place a few years ago.  Pretty strange sight when you're not expecting it.  :)

They were doing some of that up near our cabin last summer. Something different to watch. :)

I never saw it the first time. Must have been back in the 40's.  :D

I would be interested to see details of the saw and how it is powered.

Go to Youtube.com and search on "Helicopter tree trimming" and a number of vids will pop up. Looks like they have an engine for power in the top end of the bank of saws.
The pilot must have nerves of steel and good eye to hand coordination.

Couple years back a heli pilot was killed trimming the railway not far from me. Since then its been trimmed with a Bushhog type cutter on a excavator on the rails.
